Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Please Leave, Hero!"

K3

Here’s another short-gag one-shot from Zero-Sum Ward. I got a giggle out of it 🙂 It’s only 8 pages so there’s not much to say about it.  If you like RPGs, this will be extra enjoyable!Link to “Please Leave, Hero!”: (PDF) I am learning to love the second “e” in “heroes”. I don’t know what’s next up, but I guarantee that it won’t depress you ;p Continue reading Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Please Leave, Hero!"

Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Noenoto"

K3

I’m releasing this now and if I have to apologize, I’ll apologize later.  Hahaha! It shouldn’t be a big deal.  Anyhow, this is a joint project between us and The Zero Alliance. If all goes well, it should appear on their website in a few hours once the workday is done on the other side of the world. This is a shounen-ish one-shot from Zero-Sum Ward.  This one-shot has been sitting around half done for about a year.  Sorry. It was meant for Bakeneko’s Lair…but, well…you know the story by now :). Not much to say about this one-shot, other … Continue reading Zero-Sum Ward One-Shot: "Noenoto"

We are Going on Hiatus with "Akagami no Shirayukihime"

K3

Update:  For now it appears that Mangafox is cooperating with our takedown request.  We’ll see how long that lasts….———————————- I’m sorry, but the frustration level is too high right now for AnS.  Since the series moved to Lala magazine, the chapter image quality has ranged from crap to beautiful.  Chapter 35 is the worst looking chapter EVER and I can’t do anything “magical” to fix it, so it would hurt my pride to release crap because it does no justice to the original work and our group.  Also, I’m tired of Mangafox and the stupid people who think they are … Continue reading We are Going on Hiatus with "Akagami no Shirayukihime"

Happy Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Bride on Loan" by Ririko Tsujita

K3

I know I said the next one-shot would be gloomy and hella messed up, but things got out of order, and this one-shot is ready to be released instead.  This is actually a good thing because I wanted to break up the gloom. This is a short light-hearted one-shot.  Since Ririko Tsujita is a new mangaka for me, I had a hard time with her writing style.  I’d like to thank Amrai for the helping me with the translation.  Tsujita-sensei, apparently, doesn’t like letting people know who’s talking and what specifically they are talking about…sigh…well…I guess this one-shot was a … Continue reading Happy Shiro Lala One-Shot: "Bride on Loan" by Ririko Tsujita

Real Numbers on Sales of Manga in the US

K3

The weekly ranking for manga sales in the US were posted on ANN today. If you think people in the US buy manga, think again, because these number are sad. BookScan Manga Ranking for May 28 – June 3 (Note: These numbers reflect sales at certain brick and mortar bookstores. They do not take into account online sales or sales at non-bookstores.  I have no idea how much the total market BookScan actually takes into account.) Let’s do a quick comparison between the US and Japan.  The latest volume of Bleach sold 507 copies in its first week of release … Continue reading Real Numbers on Sales of Manga in the US
